Other Interests

Progressives Chat is a blog site in which the topics are usually on politics. Over the last two and a half years, since September 2017, I have published a number of topics outside politics. But, sometimes the purpose of doing that is because of having to come up with a topic for each time I schedule a new blog topic/thread for people to comment. There can be times in which I don’t easily come up with a topic.

In the blog topic “‘To be, or not to be’…Divided!” two forum posters—obviously frustrated by what has played out (so far) in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries—wrote of feeling ready to move on from following so closely some U.S. politics. That they each could use a break. Well, this moved me to go ahead and come up with a blog topic outside of politics.

I have other interests, in addition to politics, and this is one.

I have a hobby of playing the Nintendo game Animal Crossing. And, on the Nintendo Switch system, will mark the release today [Friday, March 20, 2020] of its new installment, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It is a game that inspires creativity. And, unlike many other games, it is not cynical or violent. I will include a video below.

If any reader of Progressives Chat wants to mention any of his or her hobby, or any other interests, outside of politics…go right ahead.
